Summary: The best book I've ever read
Comment: The best book I've ever read. The ONLY book I've ever read about the sinking of the Bismarck. It's about a dark time in the early years of World War II. It's about the German superbattleship Bismarck. Its captain flouted naval tradition by referring to the ship as "He" instead of "She." The Bismarck was on its way to France, and then out into the Atlantic shipping lanes, where, if successful, she was to destroy Allied shipping. Fortunately, the British had gotten word of this, and sent the ships of the Home Fleet, including the battlecruiser HMS Hood, and the carrier Victorious, after her. The Hood was the first and last victim of the Bismarck. She was soon sunk by a combination of British cruisers and carriers. The famous Fairey Swordfish torpedo bomber, the only biplane torpedo bomber in the war, attacked the Bismarck and sank her.

Summary: A good read but no surprises
Comment: Typical of most books on the Hood/Bismark confrontation but does give a good idea of the behind the scenes activities involved in bringing Bismarks run to an end,overall well worth owning but dont expect anything that is not already common knowledge.
